Special Notice!

I received an email from one of my coworkers who has family members that are being sent home due to the dangerous driving conditions on highway 63. Below is a section of the email from someone who has been on the highway today and was forced to stop south of Lac Labiche due to the conditions.

FYI:

Travel is not recommended under any circumstances, visibility is at best a few hundred meters and drops to 0 meeting vehicles. In the first 30 km from the junction of 55 heading north there are two head-on collisions both involving more than one tractor trailer and multiple passenger vehicles with wreckage strewn for several hundred meters in one of them and a half-ton that is in 5 pieces.

So please, PLEASE drive very carefully if you must venture to 63! - this weather is not conducive to travel so if at all possible I would suggest putting off any driving.
